Internet links: A notable feature of this curriculum is that it incorporates the very best (free) videos available online. I’ve scoured the Internet to find video clips that illustrate the concepts in the text. Some of the videos are truly stunning. Many provide 3D images or animations that illustrate the text perfectly. You can access all of the YouTube links by using my YouTube channel: www.YouTube.com/TheBasementWorkshop

NOTES:
— You can still use the curriculum even if you can’t access the Internet links. The links are really terrific, but they are not so essential that you can’t do the curriculum without them.
— The concepts covered in this curriculum are considered “high school level” (some AP level, in fact). However, they are presented in a manner that makes them accessible to younger students. The activities that go along with the text are a key part of making these concepts understandable to younger ages. Yes, it is worth it to gather the materials for the crafts and the labs!
— You’ll notice that quite a few of the activities are group games such as relay races. This curriculum is ideal for doing with a group, but these group activities can be modified for use with just one or two students. Don’t shy away from using it just because of the group activities.
